Awesome!!

You know a cat is happy when it lays like that

Looking how regally Freya is sprawled out, are you sure that queen size will be big enough?

How did you achieve that? The secret would be invaluable to many.

@ SR - I Love drawers under a bed even better than trundles! That mattress is HUGE! Dear gods, you may bounce across the room if you land too hard flopping down on it!

Freya does look like she is enjoying a victory - found a place she can lord it over Spots with, lol.

@ - Acadian and Ghastley -

Love it! Freya looks like she's happy with her bed, now where's yours?

Very nice, Rosa! I love the style and the cherry wood.

I had a good night's sleep last night in the new bed. It was wonderful to wake up without my back or shoulder being sore. I am so glad I bought that bed!


Spots is feral, so he frightens very easily. He still won't set foot onto any of the cat beds I have laid out around the house either. Freya was afraid of the bed at first too. But she has always been around people, so she is used to people stuff, and her curiosity for new things always wins out in the end.

When my feral cats have come inside, they spent most of their time UNDER the beds and dressers watching everything. lol. By the time one finally started playing with one of the dangling toys, one of the others would be ready to go back out and they would all leave in a charge out the door as if something had frightened them - these are cats that face down hawks, possoms, dogs, foxes, etc - only afraid inside the house, lol.

Cherry is my favorite wood for furniture, what a beautiful color it is.

Spots has not figured out hiding. When he is afraid, his first reaction is to run instead. He's used to the wide open spaces outside, where there is always somewhere to run to. So he always heads straight to the door and starts crying when something scares him. Such as anyone other than me. Freya, otoh, is an indoor cat. So she hides when something scares her. She usually heads under the bed.

My one indoor cat shoots for under the bed at the first hint of thunder - all three dogs act like they have lost their last nut, they run around whining, making whistling noises, and climbing on furniture they KNOW they are not allowed on.

(therefore, at the first sign of a storm I give the "Kennels" command and head their frenzy off before they can get too worked up).

To both Freya and Spots, a new bed = CAT-EATING MONSTER!

But Freya, being an indoor kitty, soon figured out "oh, another piece of furniture to sleep on."

Spots, OTOH, has not yet figured out that if you sleep in it, SR, it's okay for him too sleep on too. I suspect that at this point he has not yet come to trust you enough to take your word for it that it is safe, and that the home you create is a safe environment for him. Like you said, it's his feral background talking. He's used to seeing danger in every new thing.

Give him time. Lots and lots of it. Don't worry if he'll never come into the room, I'm sure Freya loves having the bed all to herself.

Me with one of my Christmas presents (this one from my Sister's boyfriend), taken at a top-secret Imperial Facility:

Many Bothans died to bring you this image

(And were there a little less light when the pic was taken, that lightsaber would be much more red.)

"I´ll never join you!"

Nice rig, Thorney!

I dunno, that shade of pink seems appropriate to me

I got a little dragon water fountain for like ten bucks at Walmart and it looks awesome in the dark

KoB, that does indeed look good!

I love it lol

Anyone wanna see my kid? I finally and going to be here long enough to talk about him lol

Sure. Just make sure he´s agreed to it unless you wanna get sued later..

Here´s a few from the woods. The project at hand is a new "driveway" to our cottage

Reminds me of where Acadian lives
To the cottage
and from it
Rocu Sr at the wheel

OMG, Kobby - this is AWESOME !!! And of course we all want to see him!! I would LOVE to see a new pic of him!!!!

@mALX

The water fountain makes annoying noises now lol


Here's my kid:

Oh my god, Kobby! He is the spit of you!!!! So adorable !!! And so happy!!!!


Thank you for letting me see how big he's gotten !!! (And he's teething, lol). AWESOME Kobby !!!

Don't get me started on him I'll never shut up lol

He's turning eight months tomorrow!

He’s adorable, KoB! Congrats and happy eight month birthday to him!


mirocu, that snowy wood looks beautiful. Nothing but rain here. Sigh.

@Grits

Thanks

Now that I'm starting to have the will to visit here and have more time to actually talk about him, I thought I'd share him with you guys lol

D'AAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still can´t imagine Kobby as a dad!

Congrats, Kobby! Eight months old already and adorable as can be! Can he transform yet? When do his little werewolf teeth start coming in? Amazing!

And mirocu, those are beautiful snowy pictures!

@rocu

I still can't imagine myself as a dad lol

@Acadian

He's teethijh so he bites lol

I missed these Rocu! Ah, the infamous driveway! This looks so much like the winters in Germany, so gorgeous. The mist freezes in the air and covers each branch or twig on every tree so it is like stepping into a surreal realm where everything including the air has been magically transformed to crystalline. There is nothing like Europe for seeing nature's beauty at its best.

Awesome and gorgeous shots!

D'aaaawwwwww!

I love my spawn lol

Not Europe , I´m in Scandinavia!





If you want frosen mist on tree branches, you got it!


Fixed it for you...

There it is! I LOVE that !!! Thanks for that pic !!!

Awww, just adorable!


Fixed it again!

Awww! So cute!! -melts-



That is so pretty! It doesn't even look real

I can assure you it is

Here´s another one, taken the same day I believe.

Wow, mirocu, another beautifully enchanted shot!

Unfortunately those are pics I´ve posted before..

No, that looks more like a heavy snow than frozen mists,

It looks like something out of a fairy tale. I might be a little more willing to put up with winter without so much complaining if it looked as pretty as that does.

You can see this in beautiful Germany; the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee; or Mirocu's house before the driveway:

Went to the woods again this afternoon with me dad. Had to do the mr. Plow thing plus bring home a few trees.

Here´s a few "before and after" pixies...
Enjoy!

Behind the Cottage™, summer
Behind the Cottage™, winter

Field, summer
Field, winter

And to celebrate McB´s return;

The Volvo BM 350, last spring
The Volvo BM 350, winter

mirocu, great screenshots pixies, thanks for sharing. I really love your snowy winter wonderland. Oh, and I'm sure McB will agree that few things are sexier than a tractor in chains.

It´s a BDSM tractor!

Ah, I see now. A Volvo BDSM 350.

I love getting to see these comparison shots like this - but McB missed seeing you get your excavator, are you holding that picture out for the big finale?

Wow, those shades of green in the summer pictures is just eye-popping. It looks like paradise. The winter ones look just like home though!

Love the pictures Mirocu!!!... ...Decent working tractor that...

Tractor in chains indeed... ...

*Applauds heartily*...

I do think I saw a picture of the excavator way back when, but I can't be sure on that... ...

I´m glad you like my pixies, guys


Well mr McB, here it is

Ah, the excavator!
